The testing also included material analysis with micro sections of plated surfaces as well as extensive data reviews and on-site visits.

Terry King, Lead Parts Engineer, Connector, Wire and Cable Specialist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center states, “Because so many connector products have failed, this test protocol went over and above any that have ever been done. NASA Goddard has never tested a connector to this level of performance.”

Hypertronics’ highly reliable 2mm connector is destined for NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). SDO is an unmanned satellite scheduled for launch in August 2008, its mission is to determine the effects of solar flares on wireless communications, weather forecasts and power transmission. Hypertronics’ 2mm board-mount connectors will be used in the satellite’s guidance and information distribution systems.

The qualification of the Hypertronics connectors, which contain the widely acclaimed Hypertac® contact technology, improves system reliability by ensuring signal integrity while eliminating contact fretting under the most severe shock and vibration environments. It also enables NASA to design circuit boards to commercial standards improving design lead times.
